This is a reply-to-all artifact. It gets caught by the bounce processor and is not understood as a normal bounce message and gets forwarded on to you. Nothing is wrong with mailman, some user education could help but it will never go away totally unless you wish to completely disable unrecognized bounce messages which is a bad thing.

There is a problem with the BlackBerry software. A "reply-all" from a BlackBerry user will be sent to the list and the -bounces address. This is one case of which I am aware. I have seen this occur (not from a BlackBerry "reply-all", I believe), but the one sender whom I hace contacted has not responded to my e-mails. -- Barry S.

I'm pretty sure this is an Outlook behaviour, probably related to this: http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/From+field+displayed+by+Microsoft+Outlook There may be other clients that do it too, but I'm pretty sure that was the culprit the last time this happened with one of my lists.

[Mailman-Users] Why does this happen???
Hi Everyone, Can someone please explain why I have a small number of users who occasionally send message to mylist-boun...@domain.com instead of to the correct address myl...@domain.com ? I suspect that it is to do with the email client that they are using and whether they are replying or reply-to-all, but don't see it happening often enough to be able to figure it out (I'd like to add something to the sign-on message for the group to give people more info on how to avoid this problem). Thanks!

[Mailman-Users] why does this happen and can it be fixed?
One of my users has complained about the digest version in 2.0.x (yes I know an upgrade is being worked on). Here are the problems (there are three). Is this a problem with the MTA, mailman, the client? I use outlook and the original messages come across just fine it just appears in the digest. Will an upgrade fix this? Thanks, Adam When it is set to MIME he gets large chunks of junk that outlook does not recognize like this: --_=_NextPart_001_01C33C0B.0A46EB6D Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Q2hhbmRydSBpcyBqdXN0IGhhdmluZyBoaXMgdXN1YWwgcmFudCBhbmQgZm9yZ2V0dGluZyB0aGF0 IGl0IGlzbid0IFBpY2sgYnV0IGhlIGRvZXNuJ3QgbWVhbiBhbnkgaGFybSA7LSkuIE5vIGFtb3Vu dCBvZiBwb3J0aW5nIHRvb2xzIHdvdWxkIGhhdmUgZ290IGhpbSBvdmVyIHRoZSB0aGluZ3MgaGUg Then also email appears poorly formatted like this: When someone like person one (the guy that wrote the original PICK ACCESS language) comments about how hard it is to convert to jBASE, when Finally sometimes email comes across like this --_=_NextPart_001_01C33C1F.89379994 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message You=20 probably didn't mean to send this to the whole list did you=20 -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
